This volume contains the discussions, recommendations and conclusions resulting from a Workshop on the Assessment of Formal Methods for Trustworthy Computer Systems, held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in July 1989. This workshop brought together representatives of research, commerce and government organizations from Canada, the USA and the UK. The main purpose of the workshop was to assess the role of formal methods in the development and fielding of trustworthy critical systems. The aims of the workshop were to assess the problems retarding the development of trustworthy critical systems, to determine the potential impact of applying formal methods techniques to the development of trustworthy critical systems, to determine the research required to facilitate a broader application of formal methods techniques, to identify "example systems" that would be useful in measuring the effectiveness of formal methods, and to identify how to improve international co-ordination and communication of formal methods research.
